And they have fixed their impression of me as a bad student.

You know? The type that talks back. The type that states how they feel. The type that replies in something they would have never thought about. The type that keeps quiet when they ask a question.
When I talk, you say I’m being a nuisance, a disturbance to the class. When I don’t talk, you’d say I’m not participative in class discussions.
To put it crudely, they think I’m a chao ah lian. A rebel, a problematic kid. Immature, childish, ignorant, spoilt.
Chao ah lian

C’mon, give me a fucking fair conduct. I don’t give a shit if you teachers read our blogs.
I don’t give a shit.
I don’t give a shit
I don’t.
This is MY space. So don’t come telling me what to do. All you guys care is whether I perform well in school, BE in school, dress appropriately for school, bring the school glory, don’t sleep in classes, walk fast to other venues and BEHAVE.
It’s like a neighbour telling me that I shouldn’t buy haviannas because it’s expensive. It’s like a neighbour telling me to plant a couple of plants so that her/his life can be more colourful. It’s like a neighbour telling me to not wear shorts cos I have big fat ugly thighs. It’s like a neighbour telling me that I shouldn’t wear sports bra cos it causes cancer.
Because you know I’ll still do it no matter how. You do know it, deep down in your hearts. You do. You really do.
I’m not trying to show how powerful I am here. There’s nothing powerful about this. Nothing. This is my space. There’s only ME. Who am I powerful against? Myself? Now what? You think I go for cheap thrills like you? Reading student’s blog?
I’m so sorry to disappoint you, I really am.
And when I finally decide to trust, and let my heart do the talking, I realize it isn’t what it is. It’s like the same old thing. Being lifted high up, then the rope broke, or the person just let go, it’s back to the floor – the cold hard floor. It’s like back to square one, but with bruises and wounds, cuts and scrapes, blood and tears. Nothing much, just additional stuff. Nothing much. I mean like, hello? What’s new? HAHAHA.
I am Lynette. And JOKE is the middle name. And sometimes, I’m also known as the holiday toy. You know? The one you used to express your feelings and nonsense on, and when school reopens, you totally forget about her. Wait, does that sound familiar to YOU?
I never knew such stuff would hurt this much. No one told me how to handle such situations. No one told me that it would hurt this much. No one told me that I have to face all these crap. No one told me that I would be the one at the losing end. No one told me that I have to go through these alone.
No one.
No one said I should be born either.
